A St. Charles man was arrested Monday after he allegedly shot a gun during an argument with another man, authorities said.

Eric W. Clouston, 27, of the 200 block of North 15th Street in St. Charles, was charged with reckless discharge of a firearm, not having a firearm identification card and unlawful storage of a firearm.

St. Charles police said that around 11 p.m. Monday, they received a call from someone in Clouston's neighborhood who had heard shots being fired.

A witness told police Clouston had threatened him after a fight at Clouston's house, authorities said. Another witness then said he heard what he thought was a gunshot outside the house. No one was hurt.
